The 1967 World Sportscar Championship season was the 15th season of the FIA World Sportscar Championship. It was a series for Sportscars and Grand Touring, with Sportscars being divided into Sports (S) and Prototype (P) classes, while Grand Touring cars were referred to simply as GT. It ran from February 4, 1967 to September 3, 1967, and was comprised of 14 races.
This was the last season to feature hill climb races, mostly due to safety concerns over the growing speed of the competitors.
